Thus, the Lumia 950 hits compared to the iPhone 6s

With the Lumia 950 Microsoft dares a new attack in the smartphone market. But as reflected 6s against the industry Primus iPhone? We have compared the hardware specs of both devices.

The new Microsoft Lumia 950 will go on sale in November. The Windows Phone has to take course in the Christmas season against the iPhone 6s from Apple. On the software side, the two smartphones could hardly be more different. While Apple with iOS uses an operating system that has been explicitly developed for the iPhone, Microsoft Windows Mobile 10 sets. However, even with the hardware there are some differences.

Display and Processor
On paper, it soon becomes clear that both smartphones are to settle in the luxury class. The Lumia 950 has 5.2 inches and a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, the larger and sharper display, and also offers an AMOLED screen. When iPhone 6s comes a 4.7-IPS LCD is used, which offers a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels.

Great are the differences even with the processors. Microsoft uses the Snapdragon 808 on a Hexacore processor, while only a dual-core A9 chip is built into the iPhone 6s. The number of cores says about the performance but still nothing, since Apple traditionally on fewer sets stronger cores. Both processors have a 64-bit architecture. The memory falls in Lumia 950 with 3 GB RAM from slightly larger than the iPhone 6s with 2GB of RAM.

Storage and camera
Also important are the differences in the internal flash memory. Apple allows the customer the choice between 16, 64 and 128 GB. The choice should be carefully considered here, however, since the memory can not be extended. Microsoft makes it easier to buyers, offering the Lumia 950 only with 32 GB of. However, the memory can be expanded here by Micro-SD card.

For the cameras, the Lumia 950 looks on the paper also made better. So the Microsoft Smartphone has a 20-megapixel camera with LED flash and Triple-ƒ / 1.9 aperture. The iPhone 6s comes with a 12 megapixel optics with dual LED flash and ƒ / 2.2 aperture. With the front camera both offer 5 megapixels.

Battery and Chargers
Particularly large fall from the differences on the paper with the battery. The Lumia 950 has a capacity of 3000 mAh the much larger battery than the iPhone 6s with only 1715 mAh. However, the Lumia is likely the larger battery also need urgently, because the better the display also eats more electricity safely. While the battery is also replaceable when Microsoft's flagship, this can not be removed at Apple's smartphone. In addition, the Lumia supports a Quick Charge function and the wireless charging. With both the iPhone 6s can not come.

Continuum as a new killer feature for Windows 10?
With 3D Touch iPhone 6S has a function that allows the currently can not boast no other smartphone - Lumia 950 and the not. However, should the Microsoft flagship comes with a private real killer feature. Thanks to the Continuum function of Windows 10 mutated the phone when connected to a monitor, mouse and keyboard to a bona fide PC and can also be used as such. The operating system Windows 10 Mobile and many important apps to automatically adjust their representation to the larger screen and the mouse and keyboard control.

Ultimately, will only show over time whether the feature actually works as good as the manufacturer promises just like 3D touch even with Continuum. Even with the app support Microsoft has some catching up with the almost-new Windows 10 compared to iOS. Could be credited to the developers the fact that Windows 10 Device across designed, equipped with many universal apps and on PC and Tablet currently is the fastest growing platform.
